Welcome to the April edition of "Certification News You Can Use", a monthly newsletter about certification published on the first Tuesday of each month. Each newsletter will highlight important updates regarding certification and recognize all new certified IAEDP members for each month. As the Certification Director, I appreciate the dedication and passion of all those who are pursuing advanced skills and recognition by applying for iaedp's Certification designations.
HOT OFF THE PRESS:
Thank you to all who attended the Certification Breakfast at the recent iaedp Symposium. A packed room, and great discussion! More applications are coming in as a result, and we appreciate your patience as the staff and Committee work to ensure a timely review.
Updated Certification Requirements
For those who may have missed the announcement about the 2015 Certification requirement updates, please take time to review the changes http://www.iaedp.com/overview%204%20Certification%20Overview.htm
NOTE: Do not use the drop-down link on the webpages because they will be under construction for updates. All Certification forms can be found on link above or by clicking on the Certification box to the left side on the home page of www.iaedp.com
If you are already in process towards certification and nearing completion, don't worry! The changes will not affect you and a grace period will be offered, just like last year, to honor current standards. But if you are new to the process and ready to start, these changes are important and will be required for most applications submitted in 2015.
Are you a REGISTERED DIETITIAN, and missed the Symposium?
Then DON'T miss the following announcements:
- The NEW "CEDRD in Eating Disorder Care" booklet, published by iaedp's Nutrition/Health Management Committee under the direction of Karen Beerbower, MS, RD, CEDRD, F.iaedp and distributed at the symposium, is now available in print and by download: http://www.iaedp.com/IAEDP_Book.pdf.

-The Traditional CEDRD Certification has been APPROVED BY CDR for 75 CEUs beginning June 2, 2015 on an every other 5-year RD renewal cycle. And a SHOUT OUT to Kathryn Fink, MS, RD, CEDRD for her significant help and support in making this a reality! The Equivalency CEDRD Certification is in the review process by CDR, pending approval. Those who attended the RD Networking session at the Symposium will agree it was a lively, passionate discussion, and MORE DETAILS WILL BE COMING SOON!
